Ancient and Modern Oaths.

Quite a chapter might be written,
writes Dan de Quiile in the Salt Lake
Tribune, upon the methods OF taking
oaths in various countries in both sn-
cient and modern times. In some
parts of China a witness is sworn up
on II saucer at the moment he takes
the oath. In Egypt the custom pre-
vailed of swearing by the goose. This
is said to have been on account OF
the veneration in which the goose was
held in that country.
In Madagascar the people swear
either by their sovereign or by their
mother, and there are two forms OF
witnessing tine oath, one to ''strike
the water" and the other to "spear
the calf"
According TO Oldheld, in his "Expe-
dition Into the Interior OF Africa. by
the Niger" at Iddah, placing naked
sword or knife to the throat Is looked
upon as the strongest proof OF inno-
cence, and the most solemn form OF
oath they can administer. In this
manner the King is sworn, or some
times at the point OF poisoned ar.
row."
We learn from "Btuce's Travels"
that in Abyssinia a much less savage
form OF swearing is in use. He says:
They took the two forefingers of my
right hand. one after the other, and
then kissed them-a form OF swearing
used there, at least among those who
call themselves Christians"
The most ancient form of swearing
OF which We have any record Is that
mentioned IN the Bible in Genesis,
where Abraham, placed his hand un-
der his (Abraham's) thigh. This form
is mentioned in several places in the
Old Testament. Anciently the Jews
swore by Jerusalem, by the temple, by
the God of Israel. and also by broken
glass. this last form being similar to
the Chinese custom OF breaking q
saucer against the witness box.
The ancient Greeks and Romans
swOre by Jupiter, Minerva, Neptune
and other gods and goddesses, laying
the head upon the altar ofthe divinity
sworn by in taking a particularly sa.
cred oath: the ancient Germans by
their gods, by their swords and by
their boards; the Scanoinavians, be-
sides appealing TO the gods, touched q
bloody ring in the hands OF priest.
The Hindoo swears by the Veda. and
= Mohammedsn ia sworn on the Ko.

The Garfield Family.

From the Ladies' World.
In five years there have been many
notable changes in the Garfield
family. There have been no deaths,
but the children OF whom the father
was so fond have grown up. The two
older boys have lust begun q course
IN the Columbia College Law School,
and Harry, the elder, has been teach
ing in some Eastern school. Both
are graduates of Williams College.
James X. Garfield has been studying
law with Judge BOynton in Cleveland,
and Is looked upon by friends OF his

Abram and Irwin-the latter named
Tor General Irwin McDowell-are Old

son, and lett home for their duties
there recently. They hal never been
away from home alone before.
Sine the preliminary education OF
Abram and Irwin in the Cleveland
public schools the mother has mad no
further desire to live in city. She
has ordered her mansion In Cleveland
sold and has decided to make her tu-
ture home at Mentor. She has here
added to the modest frame house OF
her husband q Queen Anne" struc-
ture which cost S3O,0 900. 1t is the
most imposing home in the country,
although the new part IS behind and
wholly subservient to the old house in
which the president lived. This still

Garfield home, remodeled to conform
with the addition. A $50, 900 addi.

They are all furnished in modern
style and with considerable elegance
and there Is an air OF aristocracy
about the interior which Garfield IN
his life did not know in his own home.
Although the house is TAR in the coun-
try it has all the conveniences of a
city home-in plumbing, gas-dttlng
and steam-heating.
A natural gas well has been bored
on the farm, and the yard is kept
lighted day and night. The main en-
trance is through the old house. In
the hall facing the door is Grandma"

her husband brought home just sixty
years ago. 1t is still the standard

ticking lust as it did when the Presi-
dent was bora. To the left is the
smoking room, which is a lounging
room for the family, James being the
only one who smokes. To the right is
the old parlor, now q reception room,
and rich is relics OF the dead. 1t was
once his study. Bibles and other
books are upon the tables, and the
furniture is much the same as when the
family left for Washington.

The Chicago Mail quotes a sensible
father as saying: "No, sir; when my
daughter is married there shall be no

wealthy business man a few days ago.
"My daughters future happiness is
dearer to me than my life, and for

ply because big wedding means q
dray load of presents for her, and con-
sequently burden OF obligations

little while ago a young lady was mar
ried in this city and at the ceremony
was the recipient of 225 wedding gifts.
Think of it, 225 obligations to begin

presents means an obligation which

niece or q nephew marry, and this
bride, with her 225 presents, will hear
OF the wedding, and TO be fair, will
have to send a present in return.
Some of these presents, meyhaps,
come from a big family of girls, one
present from the family. AS each girl

work when thoroughly done. But
when the land is left to grass it pays
its way often FOR twenty or thirty
years, even when dressed with little or
no manure. BY this time the stumps
are easily picked out and burned,
while their ashes can bescattered over
the field and the plow can cut through
the rotted roots. The first tillage is

Caution il Feeding Horses.

An extra heavy feed after pro-
tracted fast, so far from remedying
the waste Of strength, only aggravates
the evil by overlooking the stomach
and thus interfering with digestion. A
careful owner Of horses will study the
constitution OF each animal in his ser
vice and regulate its food accordingly.
Horses which scour after watering
should only he given small quantity
OF good water, but at more frequ' nj
intervals. Should this treatment not
succeed, a smHit portion oi Wiie'isss'
meal may be mixed with the water.
Very often securing is the result OF an
irritable state OF fthe bowels, caused
by Indigestion. In this case, Il the
horse be otherwise in good health. q
mild purgative may be gwen, TO be

1.-The Drovers' Journal has this
suggestive paragraph about the
branch of the "contagion" which took
it's root in bull near Fox River, H.:
"This animal was constantly kept
tied up in stable with a full-sized
opening in the side close by a huge pile
OF manure and disgusting filth, the
stencil and fumes from which he had
to breathe day and night for weeks and
months, and the bull died Just the
same as a mudturtle, an alligator, or

Mr.. Alexander Gardiner cultivates
900 acres near Greenlawn, T.. ]. A
collection of agricultural books and

There are several reasons for butter
becoming strong, says Hoard's
Dairyman. Among them are; Using
pals and pans that are not thorough
ly cleaned from stale milk; setting the
stale milk in badly ventilated collars
or milk houses; keeping the milk too
long, until it gets very sour; keeping
the cream too long; churning too
slowly, or in an unclean churn; not
taking all the buttermilk out OF the
butter; keeping the butter in a warm,
badly aired or moldy place; these all
cause the butter to become strong,
which is the effect Of decomposition
in it. The food or water OF the COW
will also cause this trouble.

Mambrino paethen,s Family.

From the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
The honors in the Philadelphia cir
cult have been almost wholly taken
by grandchildren OF the Mambrino
Patchen; they have won all the best
races trotted east of the Rocky
mountains this season. Maggie b., by
Dr. Herr (son OF Manlbrino Patchen),
has made clean sweep in the $50
class, always contending against a
large field OF fast ones, and she has
placed her mark at 2.22 Ia. She is
considered one OF the most promising
green horses IN this country.
In the 2.25 class Mcleod by Hem
philPs Patchen, son OF Mambrino
Patchen. won, reducing his record to
2.21 Ia in the second heat. and it is
a fact worthy oi note that the con-
tending horse in this race, Lady Alert,
liS by still another son Of Mambrino
Patchen, viz, Mambrino Lance. Not
withstanding the fact that the daugh-
tiers of Mambrino Patehen constitute
the greatest family Of brood mares
yet produced, good judges believe the
sons in no wise inferior as producers
OF speed, and the fact that one (Byerly
Abdallah) sired Jerome Turner, 2.l5
Ia, and another (Dr. Herr) sired Joe
Davis, PIT 3-4, goes to confirm this
view of the matter.
